Why haven't I bought one yet? Because Oreshika looks to be a rather convoluted JRPG--albeit a beautiful one--and I'm just not sure I have it in me to try to stumble through such a game anytime soon. (A summary of its intriguing plot, via RPGamer.com: "A lineage of demon-hunters is cursed to live, age and die within a single year's span. A twelve-year campaign against the lord of demons thus becomes a matter for the generations.)
Anyway, I have a feeling I'm going to have a similarly tough time resisting Alfa System's upcoming sequel once it's finally released for the Vita sometime next year.
In large part, that's because the sequel looks absolutely stunning--as evidenced by the following, just-released screenshots:
Assuming Over My Dead Body 2's story and gameplay is even a smidge as impressive as its graphics, well, I think it's safe to say it's going to be hard for me to pass up this sucker--even if I don't yet know (much) Japanese and if I don't yet own a Vita.
Of course, Sony's North American arm could solve both of those problems by localizing and releasing the game here--but, really, what are the chances of that happening?

It looks super amazing! And the plot of the original sounds like my kind of game! I love a generational idea!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? It's really too bad the first game didn't make it out of Japan as planned. The developer of this version wants to see it localized, which is nice, but I'm still pretty skeptical about its chances...
ReplyDeleteI must have this :O
ReplyDeleteIf Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky Second Chapter can finally see NA release, then I'm prepared to believe that this one can too! Here's hoping.
Yes, here's hoping, Kensloth. Like I said in the comment above, apparently the developer wants to see it localized, so that's a start. Hopefully Sony or some third-party publisher will agree!
ReplyDeleteThis games is further proof that you don't need to be a next-gen home console to put out beautiful visuals. It's sad a lot of people (including developers, especially developers) still think this way.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! That said, the Vita's definitely no slouch when it comes to the visual department...
ReplyDeleteWOW! I felt so.. astounded! This is impressive!! I followed this game when it was first announced but slowly it fell off my radar... until now... The graphic definitely pulls me into it again..And it reminds me a little on Okami which is one of my favorite game.. Also, it has been a long time since we get any game that is set in medieval Japanese that is full of the demons and monsters. I am so very excited. Hope someone will localize this game!
ReplyDeleteAh, glad I could remind you of the game, enorka! I'd forgotten about it, too, sadly. Anyway, like you said, it definitely reminds of Okami, which is a great thing, if you ask me!
ReplyDeleteI know but people are still going to complain when how a game on it would be so much better on PS4/Xbox 1, though probably not as much with 3DS. I'm tired of people complaining about how Monster Hunter 4 wasn't made for the PS3.
